2) The CIFT (Wilmott) one. http://www.cift.org/PCeo.htm

Please adivise asap as I must make the booking very soon.

Hi,
May be I was unlucky but I attended once a course at the IFF (term-structure modelling) and it was extremely weak...
Do you know who will be the lecturer(s) at the IFF's course? if not...
Hope this help.

Paul,

Will you send invitations for your course to faithful wilmott.com readers ?!

My unbiased opinion will have to wait until we know the mystery lecturer...maybe IFF don't even know

I'll give you the name of the lecturer as soon as I get IFF's reply.

Cheers,

Yes,

I've attended a couple of IFF events and found them both (Exotics and Quant finance) to be a little disappointing. I attended an in-house CIFT course and it was much better organised and the material was all v.good.

Thanks

Now I have 2 against IFF's course. It's a bit confusing! Any more opinions please.
Paul, what is your unbiased opinion?

Thanks,
